princess'mom Posted March 13, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I will be disembarking from a cruise at the port of Amsterdam with my family. Will we be able to find a taxi in the queue to transport 5 passengers with 5 large suitcases or do I need to prearrange transportation to the airport?

CruiserBruce Posted March 13, 2013 #2 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Probably not one taxi, but two shouldn't be a problem. Heck, this would be a problem in many US cities!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ine Posted March 13, 2013 #3 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Indeed most likely you need 2 cabs. Or try to prebook through hits link: http://www.schiphol.nl/Travellers/ToFromSchiphol/SchipholTravelTaxi.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to make a reservation for prearranged transportation but I was apprehensive because the site was not encrypted. Not sure what I will do. In the US we can usually find taxi vans but European travel is always difficult for a family of 5. Do you recall seeing taxi vans in the queue?

If nothing else comes up it looks like we may be taking two taxis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nghthawke Posted March 16, 2013 #7 Share Posted March 16, 2013 If you are patient there are van taxis. We waited for one from the airport to the hotel but had plenty of time since we flew in a day early. We actually did not wait that long maybe 15 minutes. However we took two taxis when we disembarked because we had a tight schedule to get to the airport. We just missed getting a van taxi to the folks ahead of us.

It's good to know that there are taxi vans, but we will be on a tight schedule when we disembark as well, as our flight is at 11am. Do you recall how much the fare was from the port to AMS?

Do you recall how much the fare was from the port to AMS?[/quote'] I just found out about a taxi company that allows you to preorder a taxi. The website is encrypted so I had no hesitation entering my credit card information. Transportation for a large van from the port to the airport is EUR 70.
